Hi KidsWell, we made out of Florida alive, or I should say, made it to Minneapolis alive. Naples was nice and Ft Myers was a blast thanks to our boss Will Prather and his lively wife Andrea, they threw a heck of a party at the Broadway Palm for the casts of Footloose, The Wedding Singer, Church Basement Ladies and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It was a chance for meet and greet and for friends to reconnect, as some folks knew people in other casts, and it...

Hi KidsWhew! It is sooooo nice to be over the latest string of one-nighters and be in one place for more than a day. After Chicago, we had about two weeks worth of hitting up the midwest with either one night shows or just stopping over for the night, it can be a real grind, especially for the crew, because they're the ones who have to load-in the show and load-out the same night and move to the next theater and do it all over again.

Hi KidsBoy, I'm gettin' really bad at this...I do apologize for the space in between entries lately, but I won't deny it, I've been having a blast! While I found our first trek into Midwest America, let's just say, less than fulfilling, our latest journey thru the heartland was full of fun and frivolity...and a string of really good shows. After a much too brief stop in Chicago, really wish we could've spent more time there, what an amazing town, we were off to N...

Hi KidsOne interesting thing that I've noticed lately is, doing a show so many times allows you the opportunity to view the show from different perspectives. Because no two theaters are the same and we go from one to the next usually daily, it keeps cast and crew on their toes. Constant adjustments have to be made for space, as in backstage, onstage, over the stage with lights, drops and scenery. Even dressing room space becomes an issue, as I mentioned in a pre...
